An : An injury to the eye can cause color vision problems. I am not an opthamologist, but i was trained that you should definately get evaluated by an eye doctor if you have an eye injury with visual changes.

Green : Green color in the eye can actually signal bleeding inside the eye, or swelling of the retina. A visit to the eye doctor should be considered urgent!

Common : Common sense should suggest that if after being hit in the eye with a rock, that if the vision is not good, an examination by an ophthalmologist should be an emergency. This is not normal and any loss of vision is a bad sign.

Visual : Visual disturbance after trauma to the eye is not abnormal. It is temporary. However, it is a good idea to get a full evaluation to make sure that there is no other damage that needs attention.
